Newer tints allow it to look dark from the outside but not as dark when looking out. I was concerned about this too until we sat in a car with the same tint we got. It’s not as if it had zero tint but it’s not very dark looking out.

I remember seeing a chart many years ago that had these numbers. Remember a car battery is considered dead around 10.0-10.5 volts if I’m not mistaken. The cells in the battery are roughly 2 volts or a tad more which is why you can have a 12v battery reading more than 12 volts.

Ok. I don’t have anything matte. I know there are some options on the market for matte finishes that offer great protection. Are you planning on ceramic coating the car? If so, that’s all you need. I really don’t know what will happen if you don’t use matte specific. I’ve never come...

You can apply whatever you want for protection to decals. I’d use something with ceramic or graphene in it and if possible use a ceramic coating. If your decals are a matte finish then you’d want to use something for matte surfaces. The plastic can also be protected with ceramic coating or a...

12.45 is plenty of voltage. 12.7-12.8 is roughly 100% charge so your battery is roughly 80%. Our Pontiac would start fussing when the voltage got down to 12.2-12.3 even though that’s still considered good voltage.

I’d also check carfax even though it’s not 100% reliable it’ll give you an idea of what’s gone on with the car. We saw a used gt500 that only had 4500 or so miles on it. It had been with 3 owners and had 4 batteries replaced which th a few electrical issues. Obviously an electrical problem...

Quit babying the car. Like another poster said, drive it like it needs to be. Babying a car too long is not the best option. After 500 miles it’s good to go. As for you issue, check the battery voltage. If it’s low then put a charger on it or take it to the dealer and have them look at...

12 mils is what I meant, not 12 mm. I’d have a one of a kind car if it was that thick lol. I went back and looked at what we purchased and it was 12 mil. 8 was the thinnest and it only would have saved us a little bit of money so we opted for thicker. As for the ceramic in the ppf or in...

Nope. I don’t like the look.

I’ve not driven a gt 500 but the s650 is a very comfortable car to drive. It is quick but it will depreciate over time quickly. You are going to be buying a gt 500 for around the price they were new. They aren’t going to lower much more IMO so it’ll hold its value unless you put a lot of...

We wrapped our entire car. $7,000 came with a 12 year warranty on yellowing and lifetime warranty on something else. In Florida you get rock chips everywhere and door dings from people who can’t figure out how to exit a car. This was also the 12 mils thick which is the thickest they offer...

Ours gets hot too. Really hot with the top down and the Florida sun beating on it as well.

When we bought ours in October, there were only 3 convertibles this color in the whole state. One was a dealership car so it won’t be sold for 3 years. We haven’t come across another convertible in our color and only one other hard top this color

Just updating this thread. Over the last week or so our car exhaust stays in track mode when we start it up. I have no idea why it’s now doing it because it use to start in normal mode or the quiet setting if it was shut off like that. Interesting thing is after it’s started the display...

No floating feeling here up to 130. It’s very responsive and I enjoy it.

You’d be correct. Soaps are more harsh.

I’ll take some pics tomorrow when I get home.

I live in Florida so I have plenty of cars around me that easily push 500hp and I’m willing to bet I’ve made more trips down a strip than you ever will in your life. I know how cars feel and I’m telling you around town there is negligible difference in both cars. Most people are going off gut...

True. I know a few of my friends went with the supercharged f150 instead of getting the mustang. Much cheaper and has the function of a truck as well. Only putting out around 700 hp though.

We wrapped the whole car in PPF. In Florida we have sand and gravel everywhere. Only had the car since October and already been saved 4 times from rock chips and it’s only got 2100 on it. Our other car has 7 rock chips in the windshield and over two dozen on the hood and front end. The car...
